funny thing happened at practice that i didn't consider till after. S got into a tussle with another boy. he was upset and i calmed him down. i explained how the other boy might have perceived his (S) actions based off prior experience. explained that it may not be the case but may be a reason other boy reacted the way he did. told S he needed to apologize, he did. the other boy refused to acknowledge S and he got upset. got down on one knee and explained to him, as long as he accepts his responsiblity in the problem and was sincere in his apology, he has done all he could do and can hold his head high cause he did the right thing. explained that he could not make the other person forgive him but he needed to move on and forgive the other boy as they are teamates. W was standing behind me and heard the whole exchange. didn't think at the time how much that applies to our sitch. just kinda one of those weird moments that happen from time to time.
